...there? Today the company announced it was opening its network for the first time to partners, such as Google and Amazon, and offering business-focused applications created by outsiders to members. Eight applications, ranging from an Amazon book-review tool to a store-and-share space for a gigabit of files, went live Tuesday night. Expect more to come...
...have all the bandwidth they need, experts say, all videoconferencing will be done using IP. When videoconferencing gets to that level, "it will be operating on an easier platform," says Lou Gellos, spokesman for Terabeam, a Seattle-based firm that markets laser transmitters that can send up to a gigabit of video per second (600 times as fast as T-1 lines) between offices and the data network...

The devices, trained on each other through windows, can send a gigabit of information per second--600 times faster than the T-1 lines used in many offices. Service starts at about $2,500 per month...

Today, Cisco manufactures gigabit routers that can handle a billion bits of information a second. Coming soon, as bandwidth requirements increase and Internet traffic doubles every 100 days--and as we consumers increasingly upload and download video, voice, music and data--Cisco will be ready with terabit (trillion bit) routers and more...
